So my facts aren't as good as your facts? His approval rating for his first term is one of the lowest since WWII (Fact) and not as many people showed up this time for the inauguration then last time (Fact). You did not counter anything.

How about both of your examples are twisting of the truth and we proved that. From the articles it either did better than Bush (fact) and explained why they are so low compared to others like your oh so loved regan.

What needs to be countered? Is there any significance to your post? Obama won, a second time, it's now time to get over it.

Just following the inauguration, NBC showed Obama going into an office to sign some ceremonial paperwork. Biden, Pelosi, Boehner and others were there, and after Obama finished, there was brief applause...except from Boehner, who pointedly stood with his hands at his sides and a dour look on his face.

It wouldn't have killed him to toss in a couple of even half-hearted claps. He looked disrespectful.

At one point during the Inauguration Day luncheon, President Barack Obama leaned behind his wife to talk with Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio), who was seated to the first lady's left. When Boehner replied, he tapped Michelle Obama as if to see if she agreed with his response. After a brief back-and-forth between the president and the speaker, the look the first lady gave suggested that she didn't.

An official for today's inaugural ceremonies says 1 million people attended President Obama's second inaugural, according to a pool report filed Monday afternoon. For comparison, 1.8 million attended Obama's first inauguration in 2009, 400,000 attended President George W. Bush's second inauguration in 2005, and 300,000 attended Bush's first inauguration in 2001.

It's at moments like this that you catch a glimmer of what America used to stand for to people across the world. A country that you could be proud off no matter what your beliefs were.
I remember when President Kennedy made his famous speech, my father had tears in his eyes as we watched it on TV.
Well watching Obama make his speech I had the feeling that America was becoming that great country again. OK no tears on my part but well a lump in my throat.

Sorry, I didn't see that. I thought it was really interesting how it wasn't a "name-drop," but a real argument for why equality is an American value. I also liked how he equated the fight for that equality to the fight for men/women equal rights and the fight that MLK and others were a part of. It's an American value, not a Democrat value. It's who we are as a people, not a political football.

From a purely political viewpoint, it was a very effective way of putting the GOP on the wrong side of history if they continue to pursue their homophobic right-wing agenda.

^ This makes me wonder what Romney would have addressed had he become the president.

The American people should be glad to have a pioneer such as Obama at their helm because it's about time to make the land of the free actually what it had been promised all along. You cannot speak of equality and freedom when you keep acting elitist and morally superior, I doubt that was what the founding fathers meant with "we the people".

If you want grins and giggles, go to foxnews.com. It is the morning after the inauguration, and they don't have anything on their front page about it other than the Michelle Obama eye roll. I guess if they don't cover it, it never happened.

To be fair, the coverage has turned into Entertainment Tonight, where the media seems to be more interested in what they are wearing or what was on the dinner menu. It has all become a show more than a part of history.
